Masquerade Party.............

Hello everyone: Once again I'm rushing to get a card on a couple of challenges, here it is, hope you like it.

All the images here are from a Verve stamp set called "Masquerade".

The pattern papers are from my stash, the images are die-cut and stamped, some fussy cut too.

Green Triplets..........

Hello everyone: I'm almost out of time to post this card, I was going to do it yesterday but, well.......stuff happens, you know how that goes, right?

Anyway, here's a card featuring some of my most favorite plants.

These 3 succulents are from a My Favorite Things set called "Sweet Succulents"

I stamped them on watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored them with SU markers, I added some Rhine Stones for a little bling on the pots.

The pattern papers are from a retired line from Lili of the Valley.

It's a Beautiful Day!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone: It's still very much Winter up here in the Midwest so, I'm here with another flower card for the RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE, to bring a little bit of color into my very cold and gray days while I wait for my garden to wake up!!

These images are from the 2015 Altenew set called Beautiful Day

I stamped the image on a panel of white card stock with Stazon gray ink and colored it with only my Prismacolor pencils. I added a few enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs, the sentiment is from the set.

I hope you come and play with us at our RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE.
Please remember that at least one of the stamps you use should be OLDER THAN ONE YEAR, and if you can, we would love it if you can tell us the age of the stamps you used for your card.

I hope to see you in our gallery real soon.
Thank you for stopping by today.

I See Seashells by the Seashore............

Hello everyone: I know that most of you up in the Northern States can't wait till warm temperatures get here, I'm really longing for warm, sunny days, preferably at some beach where the only cold thing would be a drink in my hand, just like it says in that song by Kenny Chesney called No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem......, I hope you check it out, it's fun and will most definitely, make you jealous😉!!

These little shells are from a very old Flourishes set called "Seaside Life", it was released in July 2009, I probably bought it right away or soon after it came out.

The set has bigger images of all of these little ones and a few really thoughtful sentiments.  I stamped them on a panel of watercolor paper with Versafine black ink, clear heat embossed it and colored it with SU markers.

The sentiment is from a 2010 SU set called Whimsical Words.
